Hello people.
In a new installation, just 2 days ago, of Antergos with KDE, yesterday I installed Docky to launch the applications, and everything worked perfectly, with its animations and intelligent hiding.

Today when turning on the PC I find that these animations no longer work and that it remains fixed, with an opaque background that can not be changed.
Nor does the effect of wobbly windows that I had on desktop effects work.

I know the Docky dock needs to have those desktop effects activated, but I do not know how to activate them, nor why they were disabled.
The only thing I did was an update yesterday of just two packages that I do not remember what they were.

The truth is that the use of Docky is, more than anything, an old habit of using it in both Mate and Cinnamon, both with Gnome origin.

Looking for something more specific KDE I found Latte, as well you recommend, but it gives me a somewhat erratic behavior, since what I want is that it has an intelligent hiding and that it is only activated when the mouse passes over.

And if I tell him to show himself permanently, he does not do it either, disappearing from sight shortly.

Yes, Latte dock has its faults, I’m not sure, but I think it’s still under development.

You can have those effects with the taskbar, in my case it’s displayed when nothing is open on the desktop and autohides when an app is on fullscreen. Ofcourse you can make it behave like you want, just play with it in the taskbar settings.

Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing its stupid.
